Not California as I live in Florida, Not sure of the Scientific name but we have about 4-5 species that all drop their leaves in the spring. They each drop for about two weeks and each variety drop overlaps another variety so I have about a six week window when there is a constant supply of bagged leaves. I could get thousands of bags but I do have to go to work. LOL

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
